Key of G
Intro: GAm7DGGC
He's just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer
DG
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
GAm
He's not a walk behinder, he's a new note finder
DG
But his name's a reminder of a blues man that's already gone
GC
So he started drinkin' Took some things that messed up his thinkin'
DG
He was sure sinkin' when she came along
GAm
He was alone in the spotlight, Not too much left in sight
DG
She changed all that one night When she sang him this song

GAm
Hey baby I love you, Hey baby I need you
D
Hey baby you ain't got to prove to me
G
You're some kind of macho man
G
You've wasted so much of your live
Am
Runnin' through the dark nights
DG
Let me shine a little love light Down on that blues man

instr: CGG
He got so sick from speedin'
C
All the things they said he was needin'
DG
If he was to keep on pleasin' all of his fans
GAm
He got cuffed on dirt roads He got sued over no shows
D
She came and took all that old load
G
Down off that blues man, and he sang
GAm
Hey baby I love you too, Hey baby I need you
DG
Hey baby I do get tired of this travellin' band
GAm
I'm over 40 years old now, nights would be cold now
DG
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man
GAm
He's over 40 years old now, nights would be so cold now
DG
If she hadn't hung around with that blues man
